This
is my 1/48 scale SM79 completed some time ago. When Classic Airframes
released this kit, I immediately went out and got one. I just dig the
unusual tri-motor configuration and obscure camo schemes.

The
model was built basically straight out of the box. Like all multi-media
kits, this kit was a little more work but considering that fact, it went
together quite well. I also installed some structural detail around the
waist gunners positions so that when the waist door and gunners windows
were ‘opened,’ there would be something to see other than bare
plastic.
Almost
all paint used is from the Gunze Sangyo range. The weathering is a combination
of an oil based wash and testors silver ‘chipped’ paint.
